Yesterday we looked at David’s great pain when his heart was overwhelmed. And his crying out to a great God. Here are a couple of quotes I used.
“There are days when you feel like a quivering, cowardly shell of yourself, when despair yawns as a terrible chasm, when fear paralyzes any chance for pleasure. This is just a fight that has to be won, over and over and over again.”
Catherine Woodiwiss, quoted in David Brooks NYT piece “The Art of Presence”
“There are times when we are sighing after spiritual mercies, when we are groaning under the withdrawal of God’s Countenance, when our sins are hunting us like packs of wolves, when afflictions are rolling over us like huge billows—when faith is little and fear is great, when hope is dim, and doubt becomes terrible and dark—then we are far away from human help. But, blessed be God, even then we may cry unto Him—
“When anxious cares disturb the breast, When threatening foes are nigh,
To Him we pour our deep complaint, To Him for succor fly.”
–Charles Spurgeon
